Has anybody seen AI U-boats shooting torpedoes?

Has anybody managed to make the AI U-boats shoot torpedoes, at least in a single player mission created to achieve it?

I've not see it happen personally, but it has been witnessed by others and some have even had torpedos shot at them at by the British U-class Submarines.

Hi!
I one made a test mission to test ai sub skills and it resulted in a complete disaster!
british AI subs.. start to make an attack and all torpedoes sink to the bottom of the ocean. :down:
german ai subs only dive when encountering enemy merchants and make a turn. they do not even try to attack with deck gun or torpedoes.
in my opinion... the BIGGEST FAIL EVER!! :down::down::damn:
if this would be fixed by a patch it would be a big leap forward... but until these big game flaws are in the game... it is dead!

I had looked at this. from what I remember the subs were programmed to dive deep when contact was made. I'm sure someone with time on their hands can program the ai to behave proper. It's the testing that gets tedious

guys this is covered allover before.. NO. no AI torp subs. German or British. the only AI sub torp was a real duel between 2 subs at Bergen.. HMS Ventura won the duel..
Well, I have indeed encountered a British submarine that fired not one, but four torpedoes at my sub, and one hit. I know it fired them because I was looking at it after I had hit it with some deck gun shots. He submerged, and let loose four what looked like MK 14s.
However, the other subs I have encountered, submerge and run away.
This was in the channel between the north of Scotland, and the isle where scapa flow is. Late 39, and early 40

good news, i like it ! :DL

:06:
The Bergen incident was the only time two subs fought while both were submerged.
Allied subs sank around 17 U-boats, while U-boat sunk about 5 Allied subs. (I think)
So sub v sub fights were not all that rare. but they only happned while one of the vessels was surfaced. - (Except for Bergen)
Either way this doesnt alter the fact that subs in Sh5 can shoot torpedos, but from the sound of it the AI for them is a bit curly. :D

In my first patrol I made contact with a british sub and followed it to see if it did anything. I lost contact and next thing I knew my sub was filling up with water. :wah:
In other words; they do fire and do hit.

I have need both the types of submarine's firing torpedoes, the first time I witnessed U-boats firing torpedoes was in the Stock Campaign.
It happened when I was in the mid Atlantic, I had run out of Torpedoes after sinking about 9 ships, then I was engaging targets at a range of 6 kilometers using the deck gun and radioing out contact reports.
Then out of nowhere, 4 U-boats of varying classes appeared, they plunged into the deep after witnessing the convoy, then I saw explosion after explosion, they U-boats were attacking enemies quite well.
And I had been shadowing the convoy for a few days after waiting about 5 days, I decided to take on the convoy solo.
then they appeared out of nowhere and finished of the convoy.
I have seen the British U class submarine attack before, many times.
They actually have remarkable accuracy when it comes to attacking ships, but they fire All ten of their torpedoes one after another with no reload times at all.
So if they miss, they have no ammunition left and just circle and appear to create attack solutions and line up shots, but the lack of any ammunition prevents them from attacking.
And as a note to to the first page questions.
The AI Submarines have no Deck gun AI and will not use them.
I'm pretty sure TheDarkWraith was/is working on getting the gun to work, but last time I heard that was about 6 last year.
